Conjugation	Biotin
Storage Condition	Store the antibody lyophilized at 2-8°C and reconstituted at 2-8°C for one week or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation.
Database Link	Entrez Gene 396892 Pig UniProt ID P00791
Background	Pepsin is a digestive enzyme with particularly broad specificity. It is stored as pepsinogen, so only released when needed. In the stomach, chief cells release pepsinogen. The hormone gastrin and the vagus nerve trigger the release of both pepsinogen and HCl from the stomach lining when food is ingested. HCl creates an acidic environment which allows pepsinogen to unfold and cleave itself in an autocatalytic fashion, thereby generating pepsin (the active form). Pepsin may then cleave the dietary proteins into smaller peptides.
Synonyms	Pepsin A, PGA, pepsinogen 3 group I, pepsinogen 4 group I, pepsinogen 5 group I, Pepsinogen A, PGA3, PGA4, PGA5
